SC430

This is my 2002 Lexus SC430 that I have owned for nearly 4 years. I believe it has all the options available: leather, touch-screen navigation, Mark Levinson 9-speaker sound system, rear spoiler, heated seats with memory, CD changer, HomeLink, etc. You can get the full list of equipment here under 'Specifications'. The color is called 'Absolutely Red', and it is absolutely the color to have.  The red and tan color combo with the maple wood is just killer. The wood is real bird's-eye maple, no plastic imitations here.  It has 18" Sporza D5 chrome wheels replacing those ugly stock things.

The tires and rear brakes are nearly new, less than 2,000 miles. Fresh oil change and NH state inspection in September.  The retractable hardtop works flawlessly, as do all other creature comforts, no excuses.  It has been stored indoors in winters.  Complete with owner's manuals, full factory service manuals, nav DVD, socket for wheel locks, 2 keys with remote, and service records during my ownership.
I will also include a space-saver spare tire.  The SC430 was shipped from the factory with no spare because it had run-flat tires.  I don't like run-flats, so it now has regular 245/40R18 tires.  I bought a spare off eBay, just in case.  You can also get a kit from Lexus (or eBay) that has all the components to make this fit nicely in the trunk, but I didn't bother.  The Lexus tools are also included.

This has a rebuilt title. It was originally a Florida car, and was involved in an accident there in 2008.  It was purchased from the insurance company and professionally repaired in Illinois.  I do not have pictures before repair or know exactly what happened; I just know it was in the front.  When I purchased it in 2009, I had it inspected by Lexus of Northborough, MA, and they said all work had been done correctly and there was no suspension or frame damage. It now has 58,000 miles on it, and I have had -zero- problems with it beyond regular maintenance. This is a REBUILT title, not a SALVAGE title - big difference, no hassles with registration or insurance.  Unless you are looking to buy a car that is still under warranty, this should be a non-issue, but please check with your own DMV to be sure.  The dealer just completed an airbag recall that came out in September - full service, full tank of gas, and a car wash, all no charge.  I also own an Acura RL and a Mercedes SL55 AMG, and in my experience, Lexus service is by far the best.  This is an excellent chance to get an absolutely great deal on a great car.
Lexus style with Toyota reliability.

There are a couple of issues.  Nothing awful, but just so you know.   The driver's seat has a scratch in the bottom leather.  Not too bad, looks like maybe someone had a screwdriver in their pocket.  See photo.  The nose has many stone chips from lots of highway driving.  Again, see photos.  This is not a new car, so please don't expect it to be.  But even with the stone chips and some very small nicks, the paint is gorgeous.  The interior shows some age in the driver leather, but is overall very nice.  I don't think the rear seat has ever been used.

Please review all pictures below and call or e-mail me with questions.  NOTE:  the black thing with a wire on the top right corner of the windshield is an antenna for my portable satellite radio.  The antenna is magnetic and will be removed prior to sale.

If you want to talk, contact Dennis @ 603-249-6 oh 7 one.  I'm in Spofford, NH, just outside Keene, less than 2 hours from Boston or Hartford.  I am not a dealer, no fees, no taxes, no games.  Title in hand - please know what a rebuilt title means.  Inspections welcome BEFORE bidding.  It may get a few more miles on it before I let it go.  I will assist in any way I can in shipping, but shipping expenses are the responsibility of the buyer.  Pickup zip code is 03462.  Car does not leave the garage until all payments have cleared.  I will need a $500 Paypal deposit within 48 hours, and the balance within 10 days.  I recommend bank transfer for the least hassle; I will provide details if you choose this method of payment.  Good ol' Ben Franklins also work well.  For sale locally, ad may be canceled at any time.

Toyota Camry, Lexus RX to get aluminum parts

Tue, 23 Sep 2014

Ah, aluminum. The lightweight, strong material has long held a following within the premium ranks, but as Ford prepares to launch an aluminum F-150, the material is gaining acceptance among more mainstream automakers. Toyota is one such brand, with a new report indicating that the Japanese giant will add aluminum bits and bobs to some of its upcoming vehicles.
These won't be full, aluminum-intensive treatments like the F-150, however. Automotive News reports that an aluminum hood and liftgate will be coming to the 2016 Lexus RX, and following that, the Camry will get a bonnet built from Element 13 for model year 2018.
As AN points out, Toyota is no stranger to aluminum, using it in Japanese-built models like the Prius and Scion FR-S. The RX and Camry, though, will mark the first time the company's North American factories will use the material, and they'll do so on a significantly larger scale, owing to the higher volumes that the Camry and RX represent.

Lexus LC 500 dominates 2016 EyesOn Design Awards

Wed, Jan 13 2016

The Lexus LC 500 captured top honors for the best-designed production car and the best interior at the 10th annual EyesOn Design awards at the Detroit Auto Show. The awards are handed out by the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology. The Buick Avista won the concept car category, just as its four-door predecessor, the Avenir, did last year. Other winners this year included the Chrysler Pacifica, which won for the best-designed production "truck" (as crossovers and minivans are sometimes categorized), and the Audi H-Tron Quattro, which won for the best concept truck. The Acura Precision concept was also recognized for its "innovative use of color, graphics, and materials." And the new Volvo S90 was singled out for its human-machine interface. The panel of jurists this year included designers from an array of automakers and art schools. Several past honorees for the organization's LifeTime Design Achievement Award participated in the voting, including GM's Wayne Cherry, BMW DesignworksUSA founder Chuck Pelly, Hyundai's Peter Schreyer, and Jack Telnack (formerly of Ford). Telnack also served on the select panel of chief judges this year, alongside Chris Chapman from Hyundai, Dave Marek from Acura, and Stewart Reed from the Art Center College of Design. Lexus Takes 2 and Buick Wins Best Concept For 2nd Year at EyesOn Design Awards at NAIAS January 12, 2016, Detroit, Michigan. A panel of design leaders representing worldwide automotive manufacturers and transportation design chiefs from top design schools around the globe today selected these vehicles to receive the following EyesOn Design Awards at the North American International Auto Show: * Production Car: 2017 Lexus LC500 * Production Truck: 2017 Chrysler Pacifica * Concept Car: Buick Avista Concept * Concept Truck: Audi h-tron Quattro Concept * Best Designed Interior: 2017 Lexus LC500 * Innovative Use of Color, Graphics and Materials: Acura Precision Concept * Human Machine Interface: 2017 Volvo S90 Chief Judges were: Chris Chapman of Hyundai, Dave Marek of Acura, Stewart Reed of ArtCenter College of Design, and Jack Telnack of Ford Motor Company (retired). 2016 marks the tenth year the EyesOn Design Awards have been an integral part of the North American International Auto Show.

Toyota Hilux gets heart transplant from Lexus IS F

Thu, Sep 10 2015

The Toyota Hilux might not be sold in the US, but Toyota's venerable pickup has an international reputation of being able to go anywhere and do just about anything. The trucks aren't really known for their speed, though, at least until Toyota South Africa Motorsport's new, one-off project. This bruiser ditches the usual diesel engine and replaces it with an unrestricted 5.0-liter V8 from a Lexus IS F making 449 horsepower. Of course, it takes more than power to handle the rigors of high speed off-roading. The motorsport team also adds bigger, competition-spec brakes, fully adjustable dampers, new springs, and retuned gearing to make the truck look practically ready for the Dakar Rally. The gearbox is really the only part that carries over. The V8 gives the special Hilux quite a mean growl, too. With the new Tacoma just launching in the US, maybe the engineers at TRD need to apply this same concept over here for its own Lexus-engined, one-off pickup.
